Jewelry from an old Brownie Camera

When I found this worn out Brownie Camera at a church rummage sale, the back side of the box was covered in a thick gooey substance.

The center lens was a perfect fit inside the vintage pocket watch case. The little clock in the center is just a picture cut out from a magazine and glued to the inside of the glass. Of course, everything looks better surrounded by rhinestones.

I glued some vintage sheet music to the flat side of these two lenses.

Remember S&H Green Stamps? I glued one of these old trading stamps to the inside of the side lens and then attached it to a vintage shoe clip. Now it's a one-of-a-kind necklace.

Another repurposed necklace using an old Blue Chip trading stamp. I glued this one to the inside of the top lens.
